CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

Future Science Platforms (FSPs) are a major CSIRO initiative. FSPs are multi-year investments in frontier science that will reinvent and create new industries for Australia.

CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science (CASS) and FSP are joining together to appoint a Postdoctoral Fellow in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) to work with world class scientist to classify radio galaxies in large surveys. As the successful candidate, you will work at the interface of astrophysics and machine learning to enable cutting edge astrophysics.

Your duties will include:

Develop machine learning methods for identifying the morphology of radio galaxies in ASKAP data, cross-match them with optical/infrared images, and extract galaxy properties.

Implement these methods efficiently on high performance computing systems.

Carry out evaluation of the developed software to demonstrate its competitiveness and fitness for purpose. Taking responsibility for functionality, performance and robustness.

Carry out high impact research of strategic importance to CSIRO, with the aim of achieving innovative and wide-reaching scientific outcomes and ideas for further research.

Collaborate with members of a diverse project team and external partners to ensure research directions can lead to lasting impact in application domains.
